The CW's synopsis for this week’s episode
“Catherine (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan) track a mysterious beast while keeping their individual agendas from one another in a clever game of cat-and-mouse. Meanwhile, Heather (Nicole Gale Anderson) has a bombshell revelation for Cat, and Tess (Nina Lisandrello) confronts Gabe (Sendhil Ramamurthy) about his real motives for helping Cat. (Austin Basis) also stars as J.T.
Heather finally tells Cat the truth about what she learned regarding their father (or really Heather's father) while he was in the hospital. It's something she has been waiting three months for but never found the right time to tell Cat. Also, Heather got a job offer in Miami and wants to discuss it with her older sister so she invites Cat to lunch. When the two talk, Cat finally learns the truth about her father. Heather has been trying to find the right moment to tell her that the blood she gave was not a match for their father's, so there is no way he could be her biological father. This comes as shock to Cat, as it should... and she gets so upset with Heather for keeping it from her that she tells her to take the job in Miami.
To make matters worse, Cat is still dealing with what happened at the end of last week's episode "Kidnapped", in which Vincent attacked her on the roof of her apartment building. The tension is definitely high between the two this week. Vincent lies about having memories of her, only to trick her and throw her off the case. But he's not the only one causing tensions to rise because Cat goes undercover, acting like she wants to try with him again, but she is only using him to get more answers. She does manage to sneak onto his boat and grab some information of his laptop by USB. But ultimately, the lying doesn't work out for either of them because she gets caught by Vincent and she realizes he's been lying too.
Eventually, Cat understands Vincent is not willing to share his secrets just yet and may never be. She reconnects with Tess and Gabe who also have been working on the homicide case. They decide to check out the information Cat got off Vincent's laptop to see if they can determine what he's after. With the help of J.T. they find the information about Sebastian and about an art gallery event he plans to attend. The three of them decide to dress up and go to the event to convince Vincent to give them some answers about what he's doing and who he's working for.
Once at the gallery, Cat finds Vincent and dances with him as she begins to question him. It takes some bantering back and forth, but eventually, Cat gets a little information out of Vincent. We find out that he is, indeed, after a beast and that Sebastian is planning on getting revenge on his father by killing him publicly at the art gallery. We find out that Sebastian's father sent him away to fight in the war and that is why he wants revenge against his father.The team starts working together and even Vincent plays along, because once again, Sebastian is proving to be a difficult beast to track down.
Catherine finds Sebastian's father and hurries him to an elevator. Once in the elevator, Cat explains to Sebastian's father that she is with the police and his life is in danger. Sebastian cuts the controls and power to the elevator making it impossible to move. There is no cell phone service, and just as they're about to be attacked Cat knocks out Sebastian's dad with a tranq from her tranquilizer and then shoots one at Sebastian before running out. He pulls Cat up through the top of the elevator shaft and the two begin to fist fight. Catherine loses her footing and starts to fall but Vincent rushes in and pushes Sebastian out of the elevator to his death. Just as Cat is about to fall, he grabs her arm and pulls her back in. At that moment, he gets a rush of memories of them together including the time he first saved her life in the woods.
After everything settles, Cat gets home to find Heather waiting for her. The two of them have a heart to heart and make up. Catherine informs Heather that, no matter what, they are still sisters and she doesn't blame Heather for not telling her, it's their parents' fault. Cat tells her sister that she should go to Miami, even though she'll miss her a lot, she plans on visiting. After Heather leaves, Cat notices Vincent outside her window on the fire-escape. He tells her, once again, he is sorry and that he had memories of the two of them together. At first, she thinks he's lying to her again but eventually she believes him. But she tells him that they need to back away from one another right now. They both have a lot going on and Vincent's keeping secrets won't work if they want to have a relationship. Vincent agrees and the two of them part ways.
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode of Beauty and the Beast. I think the season is really starting to take off. I'm enjoying the new direction of the show and what the writers have come up with. I wish Vincent and Cat would get back together soon but I know it's just part of the story and it creates good drama. Let's see what happens next week.
Beauty and the Beast season 2 airs Monday nights at 9/8c on The CW.
"Liar, Liar" was written by John A. Norris and directed by Bradley Walsh.
